Info

Hierbei handelt es sich vermutlich um eine ähnlich oder gleiche Art, wie unter Acrozoanthus sp. zu sehen, nur deutlich heller und weniger satt in den Farben.

Von Marcel Kornik: Die Angabe wegen der Fütterung ist nur bedingt korrekt, da die Anemone auch ohne Fütterung bzw. nur durch Licht weiterlebt.

Ausschließlich die regelmäßige Fütterung beschleunigt das Wachstum um ein 4-5faches.

Strömung kann kräftig sein, sollte aber nicht direkt erfolgen.
